Through the open doors of the sanctuary
may be seen burning hanging lamps.
Gods, with great terrifying heads, appear
at the farther end of the edifce, surround
ed by mysterious symbols, the floor before
them being strewed with stemless flowers
that difTuse far and wide the fragrance of
jessamines and tuberoses.
Three or four Hindoos are there, on
guard; young men scantily clad in short
cotton drawers, with hair like a girls
falling to their shoulders; they have q saw
age aspect, and the white of their eyes re-
seInbles enamel. Their faces are hand
some and their cheeks are b~eardless; but
on their round bosoms grows q disgusting
black fur; their appearance is astonishing
and repelling; we might imagine that they
were part woman, part monkey and part
wild beast.
There, although in close proximity to
gods, they talk and laugh as if the divini-
ties were their boon companions. One of
them takes an armful Of jessamine flow
ers, strung together as a garland, and
crosses the court beneath the roseate
moon He goes to a small, solitary
chapel, where stands an idol which seems
more ancient than any of the others. 1t
is n divinity with six arms, a high head
dress and big glass eyes of a ferocious as
pect. He is there alone, a small lamp
that through respect has been lighted in
front OF him being his only company.
Without ever casting a look upon the
god, the youth places his jessamine flow
ers in a dish IN the floor, just as one
would put food before a beast.-Singapore

A writer says that one of the first
things to attract his notice in the Canary
Islands was the healthful appearance and
fine development of the common people.
There is no doubt that they are by birth
a superior race, but it is alSe true that
they use u food which, being highly nu-
tritious, must contribute to their physical
development.
There is nothing mysterious about this
article, which is known as gofio. 1t is
simply the flour made from any of the
cereals by parching or roasting before
grinding. One can scarcely pass through
any village of the Canaries without wit
Messing some step in the preparation Of
this food. The grain is first picked over,
then roasted above a charcoal fire, and
afterward ground at the windmills
which abound everywhere. When it is
to be eaten milk, soup or any other fluid
is mixed with it, without further cook
ing. Nothing can be more ''handy" than
such an article Of food.
The Canarian laborer, if he goes forth
to his work alone, takes with him some
gofio in u bag made from the stomach of
a kid; if there are several persons the
skin Of a kid is used. When meal time
has arrived n little water is poured into
the bag with the gofo, the mixture is
well shaken, and the meal is prepared
without further ado.-Popular Science
Monthly.

The skill which Mr.. Clay learned in
boyish encounters was of use to him after
ward, for statesmen in Kentucky were
addicted to hsticuffs. The Hon. james
c.. Sprigg, Il member of the Kentucky
legislature, and afterward elected to con-
grcsS, had been very fortunate in such
affairs. He once, when in his cups, COM
municated to Mr.. Clay the secret of his
success. 1t was to advance Upon his
enemy with a pleasant expression of
countenance, and, having nus thrown
him off his guard, to strike him a heavy
blow in the face, and keep at it until he
was beaten. Messrs. Clay and Sprigg
afterward quarreled, and met by accident
at the hotel, in a room occupied by a
number of the members. "As soon, &"
says Mr.. Clay, "as Sprigg, who was evil
IDENTIFY awaiting my arrival, saw me, he
advanced past all these gentlemen toward
me, with u pleasant look, without speak.
ing. l remembered his methods, and
when he got within reach, without a word
on either side, l gave him a severe blow
in the face and brought him staggering to
the floor" AS often as Mr.. Sprigg would
rise, Mr.. Clay would repeat the blow, and
thus easily beat his antagonist. Mr..
Clay speaks of this as comic; most of his
affairs, however, with knife and pistol,
were of the tragic order.-The Argonaut.

"Ilave you seen the latest novelty in

reporter.
The reporter hadn't, and said so.
well, ~ resumed the jeweler, 'Ifn show
it to you. 1t is worn on the little finger Of
the left hand, You don't believe it' Look

He reached into the showcase and
brought forth n seal ring. -,
Now ~ said he, that looks like the
ordinary seal ring. 1t isn't, though"
A spring just beneath the setting was
touched and the stone flew open like the
cover of n watch and revealed a miniature
dial with tiny gold hands. The reporter
raised 1t to his ear. The little timepiece
was ticking away with the regularity OF
its bigger brethren. From the top of the
stone setting projected a very small bev-
eled stem for winding.
"How long will 1t last'" asked the re
porter.
at is a miracle Of invention, ~ said the
jeweler. 1.-THE works are reduced to the
smallest possible compass, and they'll last
as long as those in the ordinary watch.
They are worth $45, but they are hardly
well on the market us yet."-New York

The taste for the grotesque and horrible
that leads men to wear skulls for scarf
pins and collins for sleeve buttons, that
induces a dainty girl to choose a dress
with snakes outlined on it, and a metal
spider perched at her throat, has got into
architecture. The writer went to call,
and, mounting the steps, laid a hand care
lessly on the iron rail that m%eandered up
the stone stoop. 1t fell on the head of a
bronze and realistic snake that was coiled
round and round the balustrade. The
whole row of fine houses had the same
sort of approach, and twisting about all
the hand rails vas the vile serpent, with
battened head and baleful eyes-natural
and hideous enough to make one afraid to
enter or leave the house. It's to be hoped
old Maj. Jim Jams never rents one Of 'em;
he'll come home some night from the club
and break his neck in a fit at his W
door.-New York Sun.

Some time ago I had occasion to call ut,
tIntiOu to the shady business transactions
n II number of syudicates OF shnrpcrs,
whose plan OF operations has been to
secure franchises for public improvements
from interior towns and cities, which they
have hawked about in New York city and
sold to ~syndicates. These syndicates
would proceed to build rickety street car
lines or faulty water works systems, with
the sole object in view of selling the stock
and bonds Of the companies. The towns
and cities which nave granted suck fran
Chises without thorough investigation OF
the credit of persons applying for them
AVE almost invariably been supplied with
faulty systems of public improvements.
This sort of thing has been carried on to
such an extent rs to produce n reaction,
and now encouragement has been given to
solid investors TO enter upon solid lines of
work.
An extensive contractor for the con-
struction Of water works remarked: "A
great deal of solid investment is taking
place in the improvement of towns and
cities over the country, where within a
few years it has been the custom to make
such improvements merely for the sale of
stock and bonds. The day for that kind
Of wildcat work has gone by. Men with
money have discovered that in the con-
struction Of solid and substantial public
Improvement in growing places there is
ample remuneration in a legitimate way.
Recently | have constructed a number of
wutcrworks systems for syndicates of
capitalists, who have put their money
in these systems for permanent in
vestment, and could not be induced to sell
a dollar of the stocks or bonds. In doing
work for this class of investors l nave
found that they are satisfied with nothing
but the best, indicating therein their pur-
pose to make long investments. In some
instances these syndicates have gone into
towns and cities where faulty public i'm
provements existed, have bought up the
stock of the old concerns. r~eorganized the
companies, and then reconstructed every
thing, This is good work for the entire
country. Cor. New York Tribune.

THE BAKING POWDERS.
Official Analysis of the Chief
Brands of the West.
Their Strength and Value Ascer-
tanned.
A Large Number Impure and
UnWhOlesome.

The object of baking powders is, when
mixed in the flour and subjected to moist
ure, to generate a leavening gas in the
dough, which will raise the bread and
cause 1t to be porous and light. The
commissioner explains that the best bak-
ing powder is that which, the ingredients
being healthful, gives off the largest
amount of leavening gas and leaves the
smallest amoant of residuum in the
bread. A small amount of carbonate of
ammonia, which is considered healthful, is
used In some OF the cream of tarter pow
ders to give them a higher strength. The
commission say that pure alum is un.
dOubtedlY a hurtful salt, and that the re-
sultant salts from its combination with
soda as formed in the bread, can scarcely
be less hurtful. The report ranks the
powders and shows the amount in each OF
OF inert resultants, which in using il
would appear as residuum IN the bread AS
follows:
The OHIO State Dairy and Food Com.
missioner, Gen. S. H. Hurst, has made
public Circular No. g. the results of the
commissions investigation of baking
powder. This Commission was formed
by the Legislature, with instructions to
make an examination OF the food supply
OF the State, and to give a report of such
examination to the public. The examine
ton of the baking powders was made by
Professor H. A. Weber, State Chemist,
and, relating as it does to an article of
daily use in the food OF almost every one,
is of particular interest.
The rather startling fact is brought out
BY the report that of the thirty different
brands of baking powder analyzcd, com.
posing about all those sold in the State.
twenty of them are made from alum, a
substance declared by the highest medical
authorities to b. injurious to health when
used in food

powders into three general divisions, ac
cording to their value:

No object so thoroughly fascinated me
in a visit to Norway and Sweden during
the ummer of 1882 as the splendid ex-
ample of ancient shipping discovered
shortly before at Gokstad. on one of the
peninsulas of southern Norway. The
length from stem to stern over all is
70 feet, the keel alone measuring CO feet.
The breadth of beam is 10 1-2 feet. and
the depth. about 4 feet. Oak alone was
used in the construction, the body being
implanted, while the stem and stern posts
were decorated. The planks were laid
on over the frame timbers in our lap
streak style, each overlapping the one
below it, and were fastened together with
iron bolts riveted and clinched upon the
inside-"clinker built, " as we now call
it. The planking was dashed to the
frames by means Of projections, with
wicker like cords or withes, made from
the roots of trees; and the seams were
calked with hair of cattle spun into a
cord of three strands, and this was not
driven into the c~reviccs, but laid in when
the %planking was put together.
From this method of construction, as
well as from the character of the relics
found and the use of the vessel as a
means of sculpture, Mr.. Nicolaysen infers
that it was built during the later iron
age, or between A. d. 700 and 1000

he large amount of inert matter or
residuum in both the phosphate and
alum powders will be noted. This in the
phosphate powders is largely of lime; in
the alum powders it is chiefly alum. 1t
will be gratifying to the public to observe
that the powder in most general use, the
Royal, is also the purest. In comparing
the first two powders on the list, TOR
instance-the Royal and DR.. Prices
the inert matter in Prices is seen to be
about five in seven more than in the for.
mer, a difference of II 81 per cent, the
Royal being purer than Prices by a cor
responding figure.
The carbonic or leavening gas produced
by the powders indicates their strength;
and their true value may be ascertained
by considering the amount of this gas in
connection with their inert matter or resi-.
dunn as shown above. The higher the
percentage of gas and the lower the per-
centage of resldunm the better the bak-
ing powder. These percentages, as
found in some Of the most familiar DOW
ders, are given as follows:

A Scotch gentleman relates how his
father, a pioneer in the new tangled but
instantly popular ''craze," printed wall
paper forty years ago in pieces of about
eighteen inches square 1t was not very
beautiful, looked at in the light of this
year of grace, 1887, but it was very ex-
pensive when n considers the cost of
print papers of the same grade today. The
advance in the idea which has grown into
an art has transformed the paper hanger
of ten years ago into the interior decorator
of today; and, indeed, the art is so fasci-
mating that it has become a fashionable
fad with both seXes.-New York Even
